Most people use paintbrushes and other drawing utensils to compose their art on canvases and paper. Cheeming Boey on the other hand, uses a Sharpie and depicts his art on Styrofoam cups. Ever since 2006, Boey started drawing on foam cups as a hobby and has now turned into a serious business. Each cup takes a few hours to several months to create and is sold for hundreds of dollars around the world.

Check out Boey’s entire collection of cup artwork on his Flickr page.

    I think maybe using recycled styrofoam. Or Plastic/reusable cups may be better. Granted using styrofoam as an art form isn't the worst thing you can do as the artist is producing a very small number of cups a year compaired to say a fast food chain. I will say that the first thing that came to mind when I read “styrofoam” was EEK!

    These look great. I am wondering why the artist works on something so fragile instead of something such as a coffee mug. In any regard it's great art, but if these designs were printed on mugs or something more durable or use-able there might be more business opportunity. Although great art stands for itself so that might not be necessary in this case.

    Could I make a suggestion? I believe youve got some thing good right here. But what if you added a couple links to some website that backs up what you are stating? Or perhaps you can give us something to look at, something that would connect what youre expressing to some thing tangible? Only a recommendation.

    My uncle just got a tattoo of an old school pin up girl. It was fantastic work. Looked great. Does anyone else see 60+ year old men, who have never had a tattoo, getting them. He isn’t going through a mid life crisis, no divorce or other life changing happenings. He just got one. WTF was he thinking.

    Im not gonna lie, youve lost me right here. I know which you meant well and you clearly know what youre referring to, but I cant say that I get where youre coming from. In the event you want people to recognize your points, you should take into consideration the other side of the argument, too. Youve obtained a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, pretty frankly, you turned me off together with your tone.
